Perranporth, Cornwalll Surfers wait patiently for the next big wave in the wide bay. During the day this beach and many others have full time lifeguards on duty as the tide can turn quickly and a rip tide can drag bathers outwith their depth without them realising it is happening. There are many sand banks just below the surface and if they collapse or shift this can be very dangerous as happened in the summer of 2005 when in one day over a 100 people had to be rescued.
